Custom awards & recognition products give companies, schools, and clubs a physical way to mark achievement, and Promotional Product Inc. stocks them in crystal, acrylic, wood, and metal. Per-piece prices start at $1.72 and reach $364.81 at the top of the range.
Award Types and Materials
Custom awards and recognition pieces fall into a few families. Optical crystal, starfire crystal, and jade awards suit annual banquets and executive recognition. The Standing Star Award is optical crystal and measures 4.5" x 4.5" x 1". Lucite acrylic and wood pieces start lower in the price range. Wood Medals: 2 1/4" W X 2 1/4" H are cut from real wood and run 1/8 inch thick. Diestruck Antiqued Medals are struck from zinc at 3/32 inch thick and ship with a blank ribbon in stock colors.
Engraving and Printing Options
Decoration depends on the material you choose. The Wood Medals take a 2.25-inch round laser engraving on the front, plus optional back engraving for a sponsor logo or a date. The Acrylic Wall Plaque uses a full-color digital print with a 4" W x 6" H imprint area that covers the entire face. The Die Cast Zinc Soft Enamel Lapel Pin: 1/2" has a die-cast zinc body with soft enamel fill in the recessed areas, and it includes four spot colors on the front. Imprint areas and available methods change from style to style, so read the product page before your designer builds artwork.

Minimums, Lead Times, and Ordering
Minimum quantities, imprint areas, and production windows vary by style, so the product page or a written quote is the accurate source for any given piece.

Request a quote to confirm quantity breaks, engraving setup, and ship dates against your event date.
